Parade is such an under appreciated album! Under The Cherry Moon, the film, well, that gets all the razz it deserves. But the music is spot on! Experimental in style for Prince, but at the same time, capturing his familiar sound. About the only thing I don't like about it was that it was the end of The Revolution.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I enjoy listening to Prince's stuff so much! He changes directions and does it well. Every album has a different sound or different vision, so you never get bored listening to his music.
DeleteHis cancelled Welcome To America album is being released this July. So excited for it.
DeleteI had not heard that! Very cool! Next time I'm in Minnesota, I'm going to try and convince my wife to go on a tour of his Paisley Park home!
DeleteThat's where I am planning on going this summer.
DeleteThat is AWESOME! I heard that you can even record a song in his studio, for a hefty fee I'm sure! Still cool to have that opportunity though!!!
